Using the System

Calibrating the Printer

You need to calibrate the printer when you start the system up each day. You also need to calibrate the printer when:

•you change paper

•print quality is questionable

•the temperature at the site changes more than 5° F (2.8° C)

•if running more than one shift, at the beginning of each shift

If you are calibrating at any time other than during the daily startup procedure: Before you begin, make sure the printer is not receiving printing commands from the host.

NOTE: Most windows displayed in this section are from the Windows NT version of the software. The windows for the Macintosh version of the software are similar.

For information about editing the calibration settings (for example, you may want to display a calibration graph only if calibration is out of tolerance), see “Editing the Calibration Configuration” on page C-20.

To calibrate the printer:

1.Check that:

•the densitometer is connected and calibrated

•the printer status is “Online and Ready”

•the processor is in control

•the calibration application is running

2.Select the icon for the LED Printer on the KODAK Device Calibration screen and click the Calibrate icon. The calibration software needs complete control of the printer to successfully calibrate the printer.

IMPORTANT: If no icon appears on the KODAK Device Calibration screen, you need to add a calibration device. See “Adding a Device” on page C-6.
